Mine is already 1 year and 2 months old and still no wearouts. But a month ago concerned of it wearing out this popped out of my head.

And after a day of miticulous work on my device & waiting. Seems fine and safe now

Mine is starting to show the first hints of wear now, but overall it still looks pretty good.

its a QWERTZ keyboard, but you might find a way to take one of the keys and replace it, cheers
I have been looking for QWERTY keyboard replacements and I found this:
http://www.dinodirect.com/nokia-n900...=GBP#mycarttip
Currently only $4.99 / £3.33 with free shipping, apparently!
Has anyone used this site? Are they reputable?
For $5 I think I might try it...
These videos look to be useful too

Alternatively there are others available, from what I can find:

http://www.ecaseshop.com/replacement...ck-p-3671.html (they also sell white replacement N900 body panels!)

My only criticisms are:
- the blue characters are painted on, not translucent, so you cant see numbers, etc, in the dark (white characters are translucent).
- The characters are bigger and not as elegant looking as the stock keyboard's (not a biggie and a matter of taste, admittedly).
- I bought two in case one was messed up defective and cuz they were cheap. Of course, one had a backwards "D" on it. You get what you pay for with bootlegs.
Worth buying if you need to replace the keyboard IMO, but I really wouldn't mind paying extra for a stock keyboard if I could find one.
